A Masterpiece!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Watched the show, then read the book and rewatched. At first I thought it was awesome, so I decided to read the book. Now that I've read the book and rewatched the first episode, it's crazy to see how much is changed. To get full effect of this story, definitely read the book. Still a fun show but the whole story is almost backwards

I loved this book and was looking forward to the mini-series, hoping they wouldn't fail like they did with Under the Dome. Once again they took a great book and completely changed the story for no reason. It is a good show, worth watching but be prepared to be disappointed if you loved the book.

It certainly could have been a lot shorter - it definitely drags along there in the middle, and I liked the ending... but again it really didn't do nearly what it could have, IMO.Franco's character is a big problem with the series. I didn't read the book so I'm not sure if he's supposed to be this kinda part dimwit part dickhead but that's really how it played... for me.In retrospect I guess maybe 7 is a bit high, but I did like the ending. To be honest I mostly had it on in the background but I feel like if I'd payed closer attention I'd have been more disappointed.A really thourough look into the Kennedy assassination would have to be a whole mini-series, and while some of that is approached in this series it is mostly window dressing to move the plot along - it would have been more interesting to have it be front and center and ask some of the really tough questions - which it fails to do....Still, it was entertaining, I'd give it a 6.5 rounded up to 7...

11.22.63 asks: What if you could go back in time and stop John F. Kennedy from being assassinated? And it so happens that this "what if" becomes "reality" in this show. Questions are asked that people have wondered however you will be disappointed by its outcome.*This will contain spoilers*Stort Synopsis:The protagonist finds a time machine within a closet of an old diner (doesn't make much sense); this time machine can only travel to 1960 and you must work your way upwards to the time period you desire. The owner of the diner knew it was there and has tried many times to foil the plan to assassinate Kennedy believing it would create a better world; he has failed due to the nature of causing change within time; time fights back as you attempt to cause change. Realizing he can't continue to stop the assassination since he had been diagnosed with an illness he enlists the help of a regular and friend Jake.My thoughts:I believe the idea is great, and the show really wanted you to believe there may have been a big underlying conspiracy in the involvement to have John F. Kennedy assassinated; however this was placed into the show to allow it to drag on and waste time. The way the protagonist deduced that Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman was absurd and required a measure of trust in someone he didn't know, and he acted on that and it somehow worked out as usual in entertainment without much logic involved; although logic isn't very much the show's strong suit, this is an entertaining show. I believe however if you were looking for logical explanations and a big climax you will be disappointed.Also SPOILER: the ending is very disrespectful to John F. Kennedy
